That time of the week has arrived when we introduce you to the top five news-makers of the week. As we all know Bollywood is full of controversies and gossips, this week was no different. From Salman Khan to Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, we bring everything that you missed to catch from the entertainment world.

Here are top five newsmakers of the week:

Beyoncé blessed with twins

The Grammy award winning singer Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay-Z welcomes twins (a boy and a girl) on Saturday night at a Los Angeles medical centre. The music duo have been married since 2008 and are already parents to Blue Ivy, who is five-year-old now.

Last year, during the promotions of Sultan, Salman had fallen into a trouble over his comment on comparing his physical transformation to a ‘raped woman’ victim. This year, the actor has fallen into controversy again for giving his opinion on the war. The scribe asked Salman – “There have been a lot of chapters about India and Pakistan’s war. Tubelight portrays the Indo – China war. What does it show?”

The superstar very calmly responded saying, “We have not touched that at all. We have just used it as a backdrop. We have just shown that ki yeh jaldi se khatam ho jaaye taaki humare jawaan humare paas aa jaye aur unke jawaan unke families ke paas pohuch jaaye. So it’s basically that. Jab jung hoti hai toh dono taraf ke log marte hai, aur phir families are left without their fathers and they have to spend their whole life without them.”

He further added, “So whoever orders wars, they should be given guns and sent first to fight the war.”

However, he was misquoted over the same as a section of the media ran stories about how the superstar has commented on the Indo-Pak relationship. Many politicians lashed out at the actor for giving his opinion.

Anurag Kashyap in love again

Anurag Kashyap, who was earlier married twice to Aarti Bhajaj and actress Kalki Koechlin, has found love again. Yes, the director is currently dating 23-year-old Shubhra Shetty who is an assistant director at his production company, Phantom. The news became a talk of the town as Anurag is dating a girl who is half his age and just a few years older to his daughter. Well, someone said it right, love sees no age!

Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor Khan’s son Taimur Ali Khan is already favourite of lenses. His pictures have always been a talk of the town. Just a day ago, another cute picture of Taimur with Ranbir Kapoor had gone viral. A really cute photo of Ranbir Kapoor and Taimur is going viral on the Internet, but it’s a fan-made edit and not a real one.

Alia Bhatt gets candid on Father’s Day

Bollywood’s talented actress Alia Bhatt shared some amazing words for her father on the occasion of Father’s Day. In an interview with HT, the Udta Punjab actress shared about fond memories she has with her dad. Alia was asked has Mahesh Bhatt been a strict father. Well, the answer was – “My mother was always the one I was scared of. But both of them have always left a lot of room for Shaheen and I to make our own mistakes; fall and then get up on our own. But I really give a lot of credit to my father and my mum, too, as they sort of knew that this is going to be my life and I am made for the movies. He told me certain things — how you behave once you have tasted success, how you treat others, punctuality, respect for time and other people’s work and respect for everybody — that have always stayed with me. He was never strict, and would tell Shaheen and me, ‘If you want to fail, it’s fine.’ What mattered to him more was how we were as human beings.”

Is Mahesh Bhatt, Alia’s true hero? Her answer was simple – “In a way yes because I have, unknowingly, grasped a lot of things from my father. And one of the main things that I look up to him for is his willpower and his power to commit. When you are young, you are ignorant; but now, when I am working, I realise that whatever qualities I have is probably helping me do well in my own standards. And I’m like this because of the way I have seen him and the things that he has done. So, in that sense, he is a hero but I would correct that a bit because I will say he is my heroine.”
